摘要

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is commonly used across several industries such as automotive, consumer products, and prototyping due to its ease of 3D printing capabilities and acceptable mechanical properties. To meet greater demand from consumers for stronger and more durable 3D printed parts, ABS is often used with fibre reinforcements such as carbon fibre and glass fibre. This research will examine the mechanical performance of standard ABS against carbon fibre reinforced ABS (ABS-CF) and glass fibre reinforced ABS (ABS-GF) when produced through 3D Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). Tensile, compressive, impact-test and hardness testing were performed on the three materials under adapted and optimized printing conditions. The mechanical performance measures will be compared to evaluate that the fibre reinforcement affect strength, stiffness, impact performance and surface durability. The results indicated that fibre reinforced composites improved overall mechanical performance over ABS. Standard ABS performed slightly better in surface hardness. This research provides valuable evidence-of-practice to select the best material in an FDM scenario depending on required performance and functional use in varying sectors.
